ITT We Argue About the Ethics of Dropping Dox - Some people in Beauty Parlour don't approve of the practice.

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
My take on it is, is it being used to connect someone for hilarity? A fair bit of the "doxing" done looks like it's being done spitefully rather than "these two accounts are connected, look at what retarded takes the person operating both of them made". A bit more transparency might actually help, as in showing your work: show where you got that info; make it clear that someone's information is already out there, and a KF user just decided to compile it in one post.

Why on earth was a 5 year old thread revived?
Probably something to do with the current drama about a trans kid we supposedly doxed and harassed until he stopped wanting to be trans (lol). There was a twitter thread about it that got some attention from famous people and it got like 30,000 upvotes on reddit.

The dox debate is all skewed because the problem isn't limited to this site, it's actually become a widespread thing partially because people aren't fucking careful with their opsec and partially because it's become a 'gotcha!' especially in lib circles online to phone someone's job/school and snitch on them. I have no idea where this nasty tattletale mindset came from but it's not from here.
I don't personally approve of dox on the front page of an OP, but it's not illegal and the information was almost always publically available anyway. If someone wants to swat another person they will figure out a way to do that with or without the site. People who use this site for trolling plans are retards.
 
I feel like the world is too dangerous to be doxxing anybody. To me, it’s a form of a logging. From how I see it you have three groups of people who watch certain online figures

1. Harmless people who either just find someone amusing or find them amusing and see parts of themselves in the person. Not the overly negative parts, but little things. Take the Puer aeternus of Chris or KingCobraJFS or someone less known like GhettoASMR. In the case of Chris and Ghetto, they lived with family in their childhood bedroom for decades, well into adulthood. They refused to let go. You don’t have to be someone with an audience to get how that feels. With Cobes, a lot of people relate to alcoholism, they’ve known someone or been around them, and for any other poors here, most of the sketchy people who come around him are just “normal” people you’d see around the trailer park.

I consider this group of people in section 1 to be not harmful. They don’t encourage harm to the person of interest, don’t fuck with them outside of on their platform, don’t doxx, and I am fine with this. When I watch people, I usually relate to them, and most people on here who have threads suffer from relative poverty and mental illness. I feel like if you are in group 1, you aren’t a bad person because you are two steps or a head injury away from being featured yourself.

2. Well off people who are sadistic and want to punch down and treat human beings like circus animals. I have contempt for these people. Generally, I don’t think if you have a college degree that this is “for you”, if that makes sense, and in this case I side with the person being made fun of for the most part.

3. Sociopaths who want to take their anger out on someone who has the metaphorical
green light on their back. People in this group are the ones who constantly prank call, swat, harrass and just try to make someone’s life a living hell. These are the worst of the a-logs. The ones who are pieces of shit themselves who doxx people who have never themselves doxxed anyone and who basically make thinly veiled threats on people’s lives and have other idiots back them up. They are either willfully ignorant or just stupid in the fact that they don’t acknowledge that being a piece of shit isn’t mutually exclusive to the “lolcow”, and they can be as big of a piece of shit in their own right without taking away from however big of a piece of shit the “lolcow” is.

Doxxing is something that shouldn’t be tolerated. If someone committed a crime and you have their address, spam the police and document you doing so, with as many people as need be until the police get off their ass and so their job. They are public servants. But to release information to the public which could
lead to someone being harmed is just not acceptable.
